There is no more relevant fact than that. IT IS NOT THE TAEKWON-DO INSTRUCTOR'S DAY

Today, November 9th would have been Gen Choi´s Birthday, though it was always said that he had two birthdays. Why? This was General Choi´s answer to that question:

"I was born in Korea, November 9th 1918. During those times, rhe Korean calendar was based on the lunar cycles, each month with 27 or 28 days. In 1960, Korea chose the occidental calendar, based on the solar cycle, with each month with 30 or 31 days. According to occidental calendar, my birthday would be on December 22th . So, even if I have two birthdays; November 9th is the date I have chosen."

Do not let the story be distorted. Today we celebrate the anniversary of the birth of the founder of Taekwon-Do, Gen. Choi, Hong Hi.

This was his will.

Taekwon,

GM Néstor Galarraga
